Week 49/22 – 9/26

The Highlander Sheet Objective:

• Practice calculating density of metals to identify an unknown metal.

• New WHOT today.

• (remember your science journals should be out.)

To Quiz or Requiz?

An 4-point answer for the quiz…When the Deepwater Horizon exploded oil from

deep in the ocean was released. The oil and sea water are not soluble, so the two materials did not mix. Instead they formed two layers. Due to oil being less dense and insoluble it formed a layer at the surface. The insoluble oil easily spread because of waves and currents in the ocean, eventually making it to shore where many animals were affected.

The insoluble oil and water reminds me of car oil on rainy Seattle streets. When it rains the less dense oil sits at the surface making it really slippery for drivers.

Practice makes perfect.

Density Practice problems.

Lets practice more density problems…you have 4 minutes per question!Use your science journals to work the problems.These are Practice Problems: Show all work. 1.What is the formula for Density. Write it

down.

2. Joshua was working in a lab to find the volume of an object. He filled a graduated cylinder up to 22.4ml with water. He then added the object to the cylinder and the cylinder now had a final volume of 44.0ml. What was the volume of the object.

3. Ali found the mass of an unknown metal to be 35.1g. He used a graduated cylinder and water to find the volume to be 13ml.

• What was the density of the object.• What was the unknown metal.4. Daniella was working with an unknown metal. She found the mass to be

156.3 and the volume to be 15.0ml.• What was the density of the object.• What was the metal.5. You are helping out your classmate Tavin from Mrs. Harold’s physical science

class with a density problem. Tavin was not paying attention during the lab and only got the data.

• Help Tavin out by finding the unknown metal from his data

Some time to finish quiz.

The Highlander Sheet Objective: Calculate density using a mass and volume

to identify unknown metals. Responsibilities: Density Lab due WEDNESDAY: This

includes Data Table, Post Lab Q’s, and Graph.

idea 

 You need to calculate density 

   

   

   

Density is a derived quantity.What does it mean to be a derived quantity?

After reading answer these questions in your journal

a. Imagine you are looking at 2 chains that are the same in every respect except that one is made of silver and the other is made of platinum. Which one would have a greater mass? Why?

b. Jewelers measure the mass of gemstones in carats. One carat is equal to 200 milligrams (mg). Which would look bigger, a 1-carat diamond or a 1-carat cubic zirconia? Why?

c. A silver ring has a density of 10.5 g/cm3. A polished aluminum copy looks the same, but a ring with a volume of 2 mL (measured by displacement) has a mass of only 5.4 g. Compare the densities of the metals that make up the 2 rings. Record any calculations you make.

Super student read in best news anchor voice:You have seen in your work with solids and liquids

that, regardless of how much of the material you have, the density of the material remains constant. So, theoretically, if you cut a 1 cm cube in half, then in half again, and keep cutting it repeatedly, each piece would have a smaller size but the same density as the original cube. About 400 BC a Greek scientist and philosopher named Democritus thought about this and what it meant about the fundamental composition of matter. Imagine what would happen if you could go back in history to interview him.
